Charles Ofria
Charles A. Ofria is a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University. He is the director of the Digital Evolution (DEvo) Lab and the BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action.
Ofria is the son of the late Charles Ofria, who developed the first fully integrated shop management program for the automotive repair industry. He attended Stuyvesant High School and graduated from Ward Melville High School in 1991. He earned a B.S. in Computer Science, Pure Mathematics, and Applied Mathematics from Stony Brook University in 1994. He completed a Ph.D. in Computation and Neural Systems at the California Institute of Technology in 1999.
His research focuses on the relationship between computer science and Darwinian evolution. He is one of the original designers of Avida, an artificial life software platform used to study the evolutionary biology of self-replicating digital organisms. Avida was initially developed at Caltech in 1993 by Ofria, Chris Adami and C. Titus Brown and remains under active development in his Digital Evolution Lab at Michigan State University.
Ofria has received several awards, including:
